Have Questions?
We've got answers. We realize that current ONCO employees will have questions related to roles, hiring, and onboarding. Here are some answers to questions you may have about your ONCO to Savista colleague transition.
Savista has acquired the Professional Services business from ONCO, which includes the transfer of operational functions and staffing resources. As part of this transition, employees currently supporting these functions at ONCO will officially become Savista employees on November 2, 2025 (the “Transition Date”). Your role will remain the same, but your employment will shift to Savista, and you will work under Savista’s policies moving forward.
Yes, ONCO employees will directly transition to Savista as part of this change. On October 6, 2025, ONCO Professional Services employees will receive a formal offer letter from Savista via your ONCO email outlining the new terms of employment, including job title, compensation and eligibility for benefits. The offer letter will need to be reviewed and signed by October 17, 2025.
No. Employees transitioning from ONCO will be offered a position with Savista without needing to apply or interview.
If you do not sign and return your offer letter by the October 17, 2025 deadline, you will not transition to Savista and will not have employment with Savista after the transition date. Your employment with ONCO will also end on November 1, 2025 as part of the transition. We encourage you to review your offer letter promptly and reach out with any questions before the deadline.
Employees will transition into the same or similar roles with no immediate changes to job duties, clients, or reporting structure.
Yes, Savista will honor tenure with ONCO for certain benefits like PTO allocation and 401(k) vesting. Savista will also honor prior service hours with ONCO for consideration of eligibility under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
Yes, your current work location and hours will not change at this time. Any opportunities to consider changes to your work schedule will be discussed with you after your transition to Savista. Operations leadership will determine what work requirements are best needed for the business going forward.
No. Your current pay rate will remain the same as part of the transition to Savista. Compensation details will be outlined in your Savista offer letter, which you will receive on October 6, 2025.
Savista provides most employees a front-loaded “Use-It-or-Lose-It" PTO plan. This means your full annual PTO allotment is granted at the start of each calendar year and must be used by December 31. Any unused time does not carry over into the following year, unless otherwise required by state law. In 2025, your PTO will be prorated based on your transition date to reflect the portion of the year you are employed by Savista. Your PTO balance will be available to you immediately.
For employees working in states that require PTO to be accrued, Savista complies with all applicable state laws. These states include California, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, and North Dakota. If you are in one of these states, your PTO will accrue over time and carry over into the following year, up to a maximum combined balance of 120 hours. To ensure a smooth transition, Savista will allow employees in these states to “borrow” PTO against your future PTO balance. These will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Savista offers 8 paid holidays, plus 1 floating holiday to be used at your discretion. The holiday calendar is available to view on the Onboarding microsite under the "Policies & Documents" tab.
Yes. In addition to regular PTO, Savista offers up to 5 additional days (40 hours) of paid time off each year through our Heart and Soul program. This time can be used to volunteer with a verified 501(c)(3) charitable organization of your choice, allowing you to give back to causes that matter to you while still being paid.
Your current benefits with ONCO will end at midnight on November 30, 2025.
Your coverage under Savista’s benefit plans will begin December 1, 2025, ensuring there is no gap in coverage as you transition from ONCO. To help you make informed choices, Savista will host a series of live benefits education webinars during the week of October 13, 2025 where you can learn more about the available plans and ask questions in real time.

As part of the transition, eligible employees will be automatically enrolled in the Savista 401(k) plan after 30 days, in accordance with plan requirements, with contributions deducted from your paycheck.
If you do not wish to participate, you will be provided with instructions on how to opt out or adjust your contribution rate after enrollment. Additional details about the plan, including vesting and investment options, will be shared during your onboarding and benefits orientation.
You will continue to use your current ONCO computer equipment for approximately 4 weeks. Savista IT will then send your new computer equipment with detailed instructions on how to migrate to your new computer.
You will immediately receive login credentials via ONCO email for Workday, Savista’s HRIS, which will allow you to access and sign your offer letter and complete the required onboarding tasks. Additional information and login credentials for other systems, such as email, will be sent from IT to your ONCO email address. Additional information on accessing Savista’s systems can be found on the Onboarding microsite under the "Policies and Documents" tab.
During the Onboarding period, you will continue to use your ONCO email address as your primary source for communications. Savista will communicate with you via your ONCO email until the November 2nd, 2025 transition date. After that time, your Savista email address will be used going forward.
